Challenges to Keep Living No Matter What October 11, 2008
I'll admit when I first put downhere's fourth CD in the player, I wasn't that impressed. It just didn't seem to have the spark their last project had. And while I do still feel that their third CD was better, this one has really grown on me.
As with most CD's, it's hard to pin down on overall theme. But if I had to, I'd say that the idea of facing life's challenges head on no matter what seems to be predominant. It's evident from the very beginning with "Bleed for This Love." The song is written from Jesus' point of view as He reminds us He will always be there for us. "Cathedral Made of People" reminds us that, even under persecution, Christians are victorious. And "Don't Miss Now" challenges us to enjoy life while we long for Heaven. Speaking of longing for Heaven, "My Last Amen" speaks of just that thing.
The struggle to live as God calls us to live becomes the topic of several songs as well. "Something Heavenly" really lays out the issue as they admit "I really am my own worst enemy." And "Coming Back Home" could be sung by the prodigal as he attempts to make things right again. For a lighter take on the issue, look no further than "The Problem." Yep, all the problems of the world are finally solved in this song - Me.
As a bonus track, the disc closes with their Christmas hit "How Many Kings." I love this ballad.
Stylistically, they range from rock to ballad and back again. And having Marc and Jason as two lead vocalists allows for some fun moments vocally.
This disc had the impossible task of following downhere's best release to date. And it succeeds pretty well. 4.5 stars rounded up.
